Description David Bellizzi 2003-12-12 15:08:43 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:          Linux

If I access a remote smb file system using Konqueror's smb:// method and try to copy a file to a local file system the file transfer dialog box says that it has reached 100% but the box never closes. The bytes transferred shows it has completed. 

Once the dialog box has come up the remaining time will be 0:00 and the transfer speed will slowly reduce until it says stalled.

If I manually mount a remote smb filesystem using smbmount and try the copy again it works great. This behaiour is the same from Samba and Windows shares.

Comment 1 Stephen Chao 2004-01-27 03:27:49 UTC

Same problem here...
Some extra info since it seems to be calling smbclient:
I'm using Samba 3.0.0 that came with Slackware 9.1.
I also tried upgrading both kde 3.1.4 to kde 3.1.95 and samba to 3.0.1.

Comment 2 Alexander Neundorf 2004-02-08 15:53:18 UTC

Do you still have the problem with KDE 3.2 ? 
I think there the problem should be fixed.

Comment 3 Stephen Chao 2004-02-10 05:20:37 UTC

Upgraded to KDE3.2 from slackware-current...and it works!
Thanks.

Comment 4 Logan Rathbone 2004-02-19 20:45:23 UTC

I have KDE 3.2.0, and I have the same problem....
It seems to occur whether I'm downloading a file from a Windows SMB share or from another Linux SAMBA share.

Same problem with slackware 9.1 upgraded to KDE 3.2.1 and samba 3.0.2a. 
I copy a file from a smb:// filesystem to a local filesystem. The file copies completely (according to the ls of the corresponding .part file), but the file dialog stalls at almost complete percentage. Say if the file is 80k, the dialog stalls at 32k, although the .part file is 80k.

Comment 6 cedric hottier 2004-04-24 17:33:09 UTC

I have kde 3.1.4 runing on SunOs 5.8 and have the same problem when I copy a file from a Windows NT server to my workstation.
I download the same file with smbclient command line tool without any problem.
  smbclient --version : Version 3.0.2a

Hope it helps.

Comment 8 Stephan Kulow 2004-05-08 18:32:50 UTC

Only slackware users reported the problem so far? No one replied to the questions about libsmbclient

Comment 9 William Leese 2004-05-08 18:48:52 UTC

I have the same problem. This is using Debian Unstable.

smbclient: Version 3.0.2a-Debian

Comment 10 William Leese 2004-05-08 21:00:56 UTC

Just removed my previous version of samba and installed 3.0.3 from sources. 

Same results as before: the file transfer window never indicates the transfer has completed. The remaining .part file however seems to be complete regardless.

Comment 11 Stephan Kulow 2004-05-09 10:13:49 UTC

you might get away with it in reconfiguring kdebase now:
check if configure warns you about missing libsmbclient - if it doesn't, 
make -C kioslave/smb install

Comment 12 William Leese 2004-05-09 10:29:19 UTC

I thought replacing the shared library was good enough?

Did as suggested, after copying libsmbclient.h to /usr/local/include. 

The problem no longer occurs. This is on KDE CVS, Debian Unstable with Samba 3.0.3.

Comment 13 Stephan Kulow 2004-05-09 11:55:13 UTC

Alexander, can we please? For every other component I would have acted as release manager and ended that support nightmare ;(

Comment 14 Glenn Morse 2004-05-16 03:23:15 UTC

Well, this isn't just a Slackware bug, it's not working for me on Gentoo as well. 

I created a "test directory" containing 12 ~3meg files (mp3's, actually) and a bunch of small files (~600 1k-20k-ish files from the Portage tree). Using KDE 3.2.2 and Samba 2.2.8a, I was able to copy the test directory to and from the local Windows 2000 machine. Using KDE 3.2.2 and Samba 3.0.2a, I was able to copy the directory *to* the Windows machine, but not back. The files stall out as described in this bug. That is, the first file copies more or less completely (as far as I can tell), but is never renamed from foo.part to foo, and no other transfers take place. If I mount the Windows share and copy from the command line, it copies without any problems, both directions.

Comment 15 Alexander Neundorf 2004-05-21 23:07:47 UTC

"Can we please..." drop the smbro ioslave ?
What do you suggest ? Disabling from compilation or removing from kdebase ?

Alex

Comment 16 Mark Weston 2004-06-01 06:00:22 UTC

I get the same problem when running Gentoo Linux 2004.1 x86

Kernel 2.6.5
KDE 3.2.2 (Installed from a binary package - NOT compiled from source)
Samba 3.0.2

SMB copies from a Windows XP machine to the Linux box stall at the high 90% mark.

Mounting the XP share and copying from the mount works OK.

Thanks

Comment 18 Shane 2004-08-31 15:12:07 UTC

Same Problem Here with OPENBSD 3.5 running the package version of KDE 3.2.1

Comment 19 Martin Koller 2004-12-29 19:04:34 UTC

As smbro is removed from CVS for 3.4, can we close this bug now?

Comment 20 David Bowen 2005-07-03 04:53:05 UTC

I have similar behaviour on KDE 3.4.1 and Windows 2000. If I copy a folder with many files and subfolders the progress tends to stay at 0%. If I zip up the same content into single file then the transfer works beautifully.

Comment 21 Alexander Neundorf 2006-11-09 19:03:56 UTC

The smbro ioslave has been removed since KDE 3.4
